can seem to get this to work

Cool thing :D So it works with Vanilla unmodded ships? Is it safe for savefile after uninstallation?

A tiny update for this would be great...

No update?

update plz.

Lol, no update but now the background is gone. o_O

Hy there, i have the beckground in T9 & T10 and i have no idea why. I'm using the mod from here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=786503452&searchtext=backgroundless
for Ships up to T8 and than i hoped yours woul give me what i'd like to see.
(First i was looking into making T9&10 by my self but than i found yours and stop that.)
This Backroundless Version i think use a .patch File becaus i can remove the mod and add it in and it works on older Saves too.

Is it possible that you fix that Background? I installed your Mod on a T7 Save, after my T9 it worked but now at T10 the Background is in.

For a reason, the background returned for me =(

Since I cant edit the previous comment Im posting a new one. Its not the avali mod, its something else.

I did what Modemus said but its still not working. I think it may have something to do with the avali mod but Im not too sure

if anybody has noticed that this mod no longer works after this most recent mini-update, just exit, unsub, and re-sub to the mod, it should fix it.

Cool. I've yet to get around to downloading any mod and working on the graphics from it myself :D

Haha, it's okay! Enjoy and Happy Holidays. :)

...and this is why I should check a modders workshop first before commenting....DERP!!!

I was surprised how much of the size it cut down, it was nice.

Also where mod documentation is lacking I'm usually able to help out. Either I know the answer, or I probably know how to find out.

Sure thing. Also I was sort of clearly half paying attention to the fact that this mod doesn't have cut out lower tiers included. So there is still obviously a point to running one of the mods that does this for the lower tiers. But yeah, you won't over-write them either. But grouping T9 and the shipyard does still make sense for "include"

PNGGauntlet is pretty nice, yes. I've been trying to get the SB devs to use that on the SB assets themselves. It cuts the non-sound portion of packed.pak nearly in half! That can really help with lag - particularly animated objects - all the more because Starbound is pretty inefficient about asset loading. But I don't think I've managed to catch their attention. At the very least, they haven't acknowledged it and haven't applied this as of the latest released nightly.

Still I try to encourage any mod authors who have much in the way of PNG assets to use it.

That tool is pretty fantastic, thanks!

I misunderstood what you meant by it being good for Ship Yard Rebuilt. So it's all good to go then! lol

Thanks for the tips! I honestly don't know why I put wvr_windows and backgroundless ships as an include, since it wouldn't affect those lower tier ships anyway. Also yes, Tier Nine Ships is still the proper name for the new one.

Thanks for the headsup on the modinfo file. I wasn't sure what was necessary or not, I've been having difficulty finding clear documentation on anything. I think people would still like to install those however (since suddenly jumping to a t9 ship with no background after having backgrounds would be.. odd)

I appreciate you telling me about that program as well.

I can go ahead and fix up the ships for Ship Yard Rebuilt also.

Now I just downloaded it and checked it out. You just replaced the images, and that's all you'd need anyhow.

You have a .modinfo file. Delete that. Those are the predecessor to _metadata and the workship requires the _metadata file. Having both can make Starbound attempt to load your mod twice.

I suggest to run your images through PNGGauntlet(just drag the whole folder onto the program). It optimizes your PNG files to make them smaller WITHOUT quality loss. You end up with images that load faster and require less RAM to store. Yet a perfect pixel for pixel copy.

includes : ["Backgroundless Ships", "Tier Nine Ships", "wvr_windows"], I guess you might as well, but this mod makes "Backgroundless Ships" and "wvr_windows" completely pointless if installed with this. Might as well recommend they uninstall those mods.

Also T9 was an open permissions mod, so I can't see anyone taking issue with this.

Wait is this some sort of patch thing? It doesn't seem it would be necessary to do ANYTHING but include the images with the cutout backgrounds. As long as the images have vanilla names in vanilla locations... that's all you need. Then maybe either adjust priority, or use

[code]
"includes" : ["Tier Nine Ships", "Ship Yard Rebuilt"],
[/code]
in the _metadata file

Oh and you might notice I included "Ship Yard Rebuilt" for a reason. If you're just replacing the images, this would also function for my Ship Yard mod - which also includes T9 ships;) . And I'm assuming the current "T9 ships" kept the same name, but I don't know for sure because another person sort of took the helm on that.

Guess I'll check it out anyhow.
